Definitely I'm getting cold air. It WILL cool the car in 85 deg weather. I was a bit lazy and did not hunt down my A/C thermometer, and just aimed an IR thermometer at the vents; that's why my readings are a bit elevated.

A bit more fiddling today disclosed the following findings: With the fan on the lowest setting, all vents, and the seat AC blows cool. As I raise the fan speed, by the time on three bars, the left vent is blowing warm, and the seat AC has stopped. Still blowing nice and cool out the center vents on three bars. As I raise the can a little more, the left center vent gets a little warmer, but the right center vent stays cool.
